THE GOOD DEED

Set in 2018 against the ironic backdrop of an overcrowded, fetid refugee camp on the beautiful Greek island of Samos, THE GOOD DEED follows the stories of five women: Amina, who has just been released from one of Bashar al-Assad's torture-ridden prisons in Syria; Leila, a Syrian widow with two little sons, who has lost her daughter and granddaughter to smugglers on a Turkish beach; Farah, the lost daughter; Nafisa, who survived civil war in Sudan that murdered her entire family; and finally, Hilma, who came from New York to Samos to escape her own dark secret, only to become entangled in conflict with the very people she wishes to help. When Hilma does a "good deed," she triggers a crisis that brings her and the refugee women into a conflict that escalates dramatically as each character struggles for what she needs.
